Cut the fronts of the four record covers from the backs AND save one of
the backs. Use your ruler and make marks one inch apart on three sides
of the front covers (the sides and the bottom). Use the hole puncher to
make holes about ¼ inch from the edge of the covers and make them one
inch apart starting at the bottom. You will also make similar holes
around the one back cover you saved, and make holes all around this
piece, one inch apart.

Measure out about 3 feet of Rex lace or yarn for each side to be
stitched together. Use the cover backing with holes punched all around
and sew the bottoms of each front cover to it.

Leave the ends loose on either side. Use a different piece of Rex lace
or yarn to stitch the bottoms of the covers to the bottom of your box.

When that is done, hold up to sides until the edges meet and stitch the
two sides together. Repeat until all four sides are stitched together
and your box looks like a box! At the bottom of each corner take all
three ends and push them into the inside of the box. Tie the ends
together. At the top of the box on all four corners tuck the loose end
of the lace or yarn down into the stitches on the inside.

Inside of the completed box.

Your box is complete! Use it to store reusable grocery/shopping bags,
gloves, scarves, toys, etc! You can also put in a plastic bag and use
it for trash or as a paper recycling bin!

Elizabeth Holcombe Fedorko, aka Bethsbagz, began her
checkered crafting career when at four she realized using paste on paper was
better than eating it. Inspired by vintage dime store treasures, vintage
fabric, and a no-fear attitude toward color, Beth crafts totes, pin cushions,
wreaths, and corsages into her Dime Store Chic creations. Beth would love you
to take a peek into her whimsical world at her blog.
